HB 1662 -- DISEASED ANIMALS

This bill specifies that any animal or bird under investigation
by the State Veterinarian within the Department of Agriculture
for the presence or suspected presence of a toxin must not be
removed from the premises until certain specified actions have
taken place.  The State Veterinarian will be authorized to choose
the method of eradication of the toxin and may implement a
holding period restricting the movement of any animal or bird
under investigation for the presence of a toxin.  Once an
investigation is completed, the animal or bird must be released
from the holding period or must be permanently quarantined by the
State Veterinarian or his or her representative.
